Hey folks,
I have taken the GMAT thrice till date and have purchased the ESR for each of one of the exams. I realize that many will feel that this is a total waste of money but I had to try everything to get better at GMAT.
Im posting my ESR's and any help on the analysis of these reports will be deeply appreciated (especially from the experts)
Although I have improved after every exam, I still need a 700 + score to have a shot at a good MBA school of my choice. Yes I have done the profile evaluations from various sites and sources.
I plan to give it again early next year or so.
One more thing : for the last exam : I had purchased Magoosh premium ( i used it for roughly 2.5 weeks) not nearly enough. Will definitely use it again for my next prep.
I have also posted my kaplan scores, my gmat prep scores and magoosh scores (just in case) I found kaplan quants too easy and kaplan verbal to difficult
GMAT Prep :
Exam pack 1
EXAM 3 : 720 (Q 50, V 38)
EXAM 4 : 710 (Q 49, V 38)
Exam pack 2
EXAM 5 : 710 (Q 48, V 40)
EXAM 6 : 650 (Q 47, V 33) -----> this was my first exam after a long break
Kaplan :
Test 1 : 730 (Q 50, V 41)
Test 2 : 700 (Q 50, V 38)
Test 3 : 720 (Q 51, V 34)
Test 4 : 720 (Q 50, V 40)
Test 5 : 690 (Q 50, V 28) -------> one of my last tests, 2nd last infact (too fatigued, i guess)
Magoosh :
Test 1 : 650 (Q 44, V 35)
Test 2: 630 (Q 45, V 32) -------> my last test
I found the quants in magoosh to be really challenging, i must admit quant is my weak area (or atleast i enjoy doing verbal more, unfortunately it does not show on the tests)
Any advise, guidance or strategy which i can base my next prep on will be great. I asked Magoosh guys for help on this matter but they did not help (inspite of purchasing a premium magoosh product, although they were very helpful otherwise). I will give a detailed review about magoosh later.
Thanks in advance
PS: I have also given the default exam pack (2 test multiple times) for gmat prep and manhattan series (all 5 or 7 exams), but that was back in Nov 2015 for my 1st exam. I did not feel posting the scores of those mock tests were necessary. Frankly I out of test. But now I finally have enough kudos for the gmatclub test

Hi Aniket,
First off, a 660/Q48 is a strong score (it's right around the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Your two Official Scores are rather similar, which implies that you treated both of your recent GMATs in the same general ways and your general ability level is likely in mid-600s. To raise that to 700+, you'll likely have to make some adjustments to how you handle both the Quant and Verbal sections. If you do choose to retest, then you're going to need a new 'block' of CATs to work with. Have you used the Veritas CATs yet?
